Dan....by "our identity"....who are you talking about? you...people on this forum...the UPCI...pentecostal christianity as a whole?

I am speaking of Oneness Apostolics, Edjen

Granted .... Anyone has the right to call themselves Apostolic ... even Catholics do ...

However .... instititutions like USGT are academic instititutions ... that apparently services Oneness Apostolics ... and not just the UPCI.

The discourse, in a forum like this, has always been ABOUT TRUTH, EdJen ...

Truth ... should be our focus ... not just a political, ideological agendas. Any organization should be able to define it's limits ... however with truth being a guiding principle, IMO.

Many today do not know their Oneness Apostolic identity ... in the light of truth ... God's Word, history, logic, etc.

Does truth matter, EdJen? I think it does and we should not run from it ... or seek to censor or sanitize it ... or believe we've grasped every aspect of it.

Apostolic means just that ... of the Apostles ... what did the Apostles teach and practice and do we practice Apostolic doctrine?

My wife's hair was past her backside and she got it cut this past Saturday. It now hits her just about her shoulder blades. For those who think it's short I'd like to ask... would it be okay if I wore my hair that long? What's nature teachin' ya? lol
Depends on who is influencing you Aquila...

You will become who you hang out with... it happens...

It won't stop there it never does...

Doctrine is the next step...

Let's see where it goes...

Yep. Next thing you know you won't be any different than the baptist. I still can't understand why people have so many problems with the Baptist folks.

I heard a lifelong pentecostal testify in our church that he grew up in Pentecost but didn't get "saved" until he went to the Baptist church. He now goes to a Pentecostal church but struggles with the doctrinal inconsistencies.

Not the point... but true enough that considering the outward appearance there will be no separation between that of the church and the world...

but of course that is being "relevant" to reach those that are lost... silly me I forgot...

This is unbelievable, two short years ago, everyone praised the committee's efforts, Dora, the music, the changing with the times, now belittling the same. Amazing, absolutely Amazing
Revrandy it is the doctrine that will be next.

Aquila, why would your wife after her years of not cutting her hair decide to?

You're wrong about doctrine, RR, but correct about becoming like your companions.

Modesty of appearance can be exhibited without looking like a woman comes out of a 1950 magazine.
